Reach every reader in your elementary school library.
About us
We’re here to help school libraries and librarians THRIVE.
We know that school librarians are the heart of their buildings — the readers, the researchers, the quiet champions of curious minds. That’s why we created a membership built just for you.
When you join, you get access to our digital magazine packed with fresh ideas, practical resources, and inspiration to keep your library thriving. You’ll also become part of a warm, engaged discussion group where you can swap strategies, ask questions, and connect with fellow librarians who truly get it .
And here’s the part that makes us especially proud: every membership directly gives back to the libraries you serve. A portion of every subscription goes toward DonorsChoose grants, helping fund the projects in our member community. Your membership doesn’t just support you — it ripples outward.
Whether you’re a seasoned librarian or just finding your footing, you belong here. Come for the resources, stay for the community, and know that simply by being a member, you’re making a difference.
We’re so glad you’re here.
Every school librarian deserves to be supported, inspired, and encouraged.

School Librarian Basics
So many practical skills are not taught in library school, but must be learned on the job. You’ll learn from experienced librarians how to weed your library collection, how to purchase books, how to repair books, and more librarian basic skills.
Reading Promotion
School librarians play a vital role in shaping students’ relationship with books and sparking a lifelong of reading in students. You’ll read articles about exactly how to make that happen with your school library lessons and programs.
STEM/STEAM/Makerspace
Incorporating STEAM activities and makerspaces into the school library transforms it into a dynamic hub of creativity and innovation, giving students hands-on opportunities to explore science, technology, engineering, art, and math in ways that spark curiosity and deepen engagement. You’ll learn how to demonstrate that the library is not just a place for books but a vibrant space where students can tinker, collaborate, problem-solve, and bring their boldest ideas to life.
Library Funding
Budgets, fundraisers, and grants are important topics to learn about from school librarians who have figured it out. Our school libraries need funding so that we can build collections and create the programming that our students deserve.
Research Skills & Projects
Let’s make research skills more interesting, so that our students fully participate and learn how to form questions, seek answers, and think critically about information they encounter.
Library Skills Lessons
Teaching library skills equips students with the ability to navigate information sources effectively. School librarians can use library skills instruction to empower students to become independent, critical thinkers.
Library Advocacy
School librarians who boldly champion their libraries—whether by presenting data on student outcomes, collaborating with teachers, or engaging parents and administrators—help ensure their programs receive the funding, resources, and recognition they deserve. By speaking up for their libraries, school librarians send a powerful message to their entire school community that access to books, technology, and information literacy is not a luxury but an essential investment in every student’s future.
Book Reviews
Our book reviews will always include practical tips for sharing them with your students as part of your library lessons. Whether they are fiction or nonfiction, picture books or chapter books, we’ll share the books you’ll want to add to your school library collection and add to your libray instruction.
